Hi folks, happy new year!
I keg with corny kegs, and I use priming sugar to carbonate naturally.
I quite like this method as it fits in with my routine, and mostly good results - when patience is applied before.
However, last batch took while to run clear so a few of the first pints were faulty yeasty, which interfered with hop favour profile (lots of flameout Galaxy). It cleared and improved with time, but got me thinking about workarounds.
I don’t fancy making any alterations to the standard dip tubes in my kegs or going down the floating route. Has anyone had any luck with just pushing a short length of silicon tube on the end of ann unaltered liquid-out dip tube so that it draws from just above the bottom of the keg. Maybe attaching one of those cheap eBay filter/traps to the end of the hose so that it lies just an inch off the bottom?
